520    The extraordinary story of the little South African boy 
       whose bravery and fierce determination to make a 
       difference despite being born with AIDS has made him the 
       human symbol of the world's fight against the disease, 
       told by the veteran American journalist whose life he 
       changed.Five million more people contracted HIV last year 
       alone. We've all seen the statistics, and they numb us; on
       some level our minds shut down to a catastrophe of this 
       scope. As with other such immense human tragedies in the 
       past, it can take the story of one special child's life to
       make us open our minds and our hearts.While the majority 
       of all AIDS cases occur in Africa, a South African boy 
       named Nkosi Johnson did not become "an icon of the 
       struggle for life," in Nelson Mandela's words, because he 
       was representative but because he was so very remarkable. 
       Everyone who met Nkosi Johnson was struck by his blinding 
       life force, his powerful intelligence and drive, his 
       determination to make something of his short life. By the 
       time of his death, the work he had done in his eleven 
       years on earth was such that The New York Times ran his 
       obituary on the front page, as did many other papers, and 
       tributes appeared on the evening news broadcasts of every 
       major network.Nkosi Johnson did not live to tell his own 
       story, but one writer whose life he changed has taken up 
       the work of telling it for him. Luckily for the world that
       writer is Jim Wooten. In his hands, We Are All the Same is
       a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit, 
       even as it bears witness to the scope of the tragedy that 
       is unfolding in Africa and around the world, cutting down 
       millions of boys and girls like Nkosi Johnson before they 
       can reach their promise. Written with the brevity and 
       power of a parable, We Are All the Same is a book that is 
       meant to be read by all of us, of all ages and walks of 
       life. Its beginning and ending are terribly sad, but in 
       the middle is the extraordinarily inspiring story of a 
       very unlucky little boy who said, Never mind. I'm going to
       make my life matter. And he did.
